Report summary

Stanford University Department of Bioengineering in 2015-2017 reads as a 43-PI network with 28 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (30% of slots across 24 PIs; 24 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (17% of slots across 17 PIs; 17 labels), and 3D Printing in Biomedical Research as the leading topic (4% of slots across 5 PIs; 5 labels). Overall the pattern is balanced: there is enough structure to identify active groups, while the field mix still leaves room for multiple research identities. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Stuart B. Goodman (29.4 weighted works; Orthopaedic implants and arthroplasty, Orthopedic Infections and Treatments); Ellen Kuhl (27.6 weighted works; Elasticity and Material Modeling, Automotive and Human Injury Biomechanics). The strongest pairings are Garry E. Gold and Brian A. Hargreaves (7 shared works, weight 3.4). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 7 PIs, 8 internal connections, weight 9, around Biomedical Engineering, Biomaterials, Surgery, led by Stuart B. Goodman, Sarah C. Heilshorn, Fan Yang.
